    My wife grew up in Salt Lake City. According to her, when she was little, there was a whole lot of, "My mommy won't let me play with you, because you aren't Mormon."

    They are very smug in their sense of self superiority.

    Based on elegance.

    Houston is not elegant enough.

    But we are one of the coolest cities according to a site.

    I had an entry on my Xanga blog (back in 2005) about how cool Houston was at that time.

    There is no city more vain about its position in popular culture, more indifferent to other realities, more self-absorbed than New York City…. You guys think you know urban America, you don’t know **** anymore.
